Great stuff, fellas!

I am somewhat hampered by a dial-up, but I intend to play all the links here eventually.

Excellent fare, Quincy!

Yes, King Crimson - I am old enough to remember their advent with In the Court of the Crimson King! And what a line-up of members that band can boast of - a seminal band for sure.

Thanks for your link, Orwn. Yes, I like P.J. - is she encroaching on the pinkness of "Pink"?

One of my all-time favourite bands is the industrial strength rockers from East Germany - named after the air-base in Germany - Rammstein (hammer-stone). They sing mostly in German, and the lyrics to this song "Links" (Left) are interesting.

Here is a live version:

They sound like teutonic fascists but here is a translation of the lyrics:

Left 234

Can you break hearts
can hearts speak
can you torture hearts
can you steal hearts

They want my heart on the right side
but then I look below
it beats there on the left.

Can hearts sing
can a heart burst
can hearts be pure
can a heart be made of stone

They want my heart on the right side
but then I look below
it beats there on the left
left two three four left

Can you ask hearts
(can you) carry a child under yourself
can you give it away
(can you) think with your heart

They want my heart on the right side
but then I look below
it beats there in the left breast
the envious have not known it well

Left two three four left
